Lois and Meeka

Lois has recently adopted Meeka.  Meeka is a Yellow-Shouldered Amazon.  Yellow Shouldered Amazons, Amazona barbadensis, are a smaller, fairly rare species of Amazon parrot that are mostly green with varying amounts of yellow on the face and bend of the wings. They have pale yellow to white feathers on the front of their foreheads, and these pale feathers have deep coral color at their roots. They have longer tails in proportion to their body size than most Amazon parrots. The gorgeous outer tail feathers of Yellow Shouldered Amazons have blue, red, green and also some violet in them. Yellow Shoulders are native to a small region on the coast and offshore islands of Venezuela.

Yellow Shouldered Amazons are a sweet, fun, energetic, active species of Amazon and tend to be much calmer and gentler than some of the bigger species. They make wonderful companions and bring much joy to their families.
